How do I change terminal .. ?
« on: November 02, 2010, 07:10:25 pm »
Hello!

How do I change terminal to launch console programs? The box seems to be grayed out..

actually... I'm not sure if this is really what I want. Hm, I'll tell you:

I'm a student currently studying c/c++, I have studied a little bit of Java before where the compiling and executing all was done in my terminal (windows command prompt to be more precise). I modified my command prompt visually to get black text on a white background, and with a different font (by making a shortcut, right-clicking it -> preferences and making changes there). And well, this is what I'd like the consoles popping up, when running my c++, in Code::Block to look like. Is there anyway to do this? :O Could I perhaps redirect which terminal it should use to my command prompt shortcut?  :)

I hope someone can help a newbie.. :) Thanks in advance!

Right click on the cmd.exe's title bar, then properties, then you modify the settings -> then OK + Apply for all windows (or something like that)
(most of the time I ignore long posts)

Wow thank you for your quick reply!!

Buut... There's no "apply for all windows" or anything of the likes in any of the property tabs nor when I accept the changes.. any ideas?

Thanks again  :)

edit: The cmd.exe seems to stay the way I chose - but the tiny c++ programs i write in Code::Blocks doesn't seem to adapt the changes.

edit #2: Hm now it works! The old settings must've been cached somewhere for a while or something.. anyway - it works!

Thanks a bunch! :D
